Antioch Elementary School District 34 Superintendent Scott Thompson said Owens submitted his resignation April 27. He has been on unpaid leave since Oct. 8, Thompson said. The school board has not yet had an opportunity to act on Owens' resignation. The next regular meeting is May 18, though the board could call a special meeting sooner, officials said.

Lake County Associate Judge Theodore Potkonjak said he was "reluctantly" accepting a guilty plea from Owens, because the original charges against him were reduced.

Owens, of unincorporated McHenry County, was arrested in September after an investigation by police in Lake and McHenry counties.
